BACKGROUND

Semiconductor devices are used in a variety of electronic applications, such as personal computers, cell phones, digital cameras, and other electronic devices. As electronic products are continuously miniaturized, heat dissipation of semiconductor devices has become an important issue for packaging technology. Moreover, in the packaging of semiconductor devices, through via connections may be used to provide electrical connections between the vertically arranged integrated circuit components. The formation of these through vias has impacts on data transmission speed and reliability of the semiconductor devices. There is a continuous need for more reliable semiconductor devices having improved electrical performance.

FIGS. 1A-1E are schematic cross-sectional views of various stages of manufacturing a substrate structure in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to FIG. 1A, a carrier substrate 102 having a first surface 102 aand a second surface 102 b opposite to the first surface 102 ais provided. The carrier substrate 102 may have a thickness 102 tranging between about 0.1 mm and about 1 mm. In some embodiments, the carrier substrate 102 is provided in a wafer form. Alternatively, the carrier substrate 102 may be provided in any other suitable form (e.g., a panel form, a chip form, a strip form, etc.) depending on process requirements.

In some embodiments, a material of the carrier substrate 102 is selected to have material properties of high thermal conductivity to provide improved heat dissipation. In some embodiments, the carrier substrate 102 is made of ceramic or other suitable heat-dissipating material(s). The carrier substrate 102 may be referred to as a ceramic substrate or a heat-dissipating substrate in accordance with some embodiments. For example, a material of the carrier substrate 102 includes aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), aluminum nitride (AlN), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), boron nitride (BN), zirconia (ZrO₂), or other suitable materials. In some embodiments, the carrier substrate 102 is made of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), and the thermal conductivity of the carrier substrate 102 may be in a range of about 20 W/m-k and about 24 W/m-k. In some embodiments, the carrier substrate 102 is made of aluminum nitride (AlN), and the thermal conductivity of the carrier substrate 102 may range between about 170 W/m-k and about 220 W/m-k. It should be noted that the last-mentioned values only serve as examples, and other suitable carrier materials having good heat dissipation properties may be used.

Referring to FIG. 1B, portions of the carrier substrate 102 may be removed to form a plurality of via holes VH. In some embodiments, a drilling operation is performed on the carrier substrate 102 to form the via holes VH. For example, the via-hole drilling operation includes a laser drilling process, followed by a post-drill cleaning process to remove the residue during the operation. In some embodiments, a laser is directed toward those portions of the carrier substrate 102 which are desired to be removed in order to form the via holes VH. It is understood that the characteristics of the via holes may be controlled by varying the laser exposure conditions (e.g., wavelength, pulse duration, pulse energy, repetition rate, etc.) and/or other process parameters. In certain instances, fiber lasers, with power levels over 1 kW and repetition rates below 10 kHz, are used for drilling the carrier substrate 102; however, sidewall profiles of such via holes formed by using the fiber laser is nearly vertical which may not facilitate the subsequent formation of seed material. On the other hand, it is understood that the thermal effects during the laser drilling process need to be well-controlled to avoid cracking of the substrate. In certain circumstances, using the fiber lasers with high power levels to form via holes may cause uncontrolled cracking, thereby reducing the strength of the carrier substrate.

In order to avoid cracking of the carrier substrate, the laser with lower output power may be employed. For example, diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser (e.g., ultraviolet (UV) laser, infrared (IR) laser, etc.) with lower output power is employed for the via-hole drilling operation. As compared to using the fiber lasers, the drilling process using the DPSS laser with lower power and higher repetition rate may result in less thermal damage on the carrier substrate 102. For example, the UV laser at 355 nm, with higher repetition rate (e.g., above 1 MHz) and lower power (e.g., less than 30 Watts), is used to perform the laser drilling process for forming the via holes. It is understood that the laser processing throughput (e.g., via-hole drilling on the substrate) is limited by the laser power intensity, and thus using the UV laser with lower power may decrease throughput. On the other hand, the UV lasers capable of operating at high energy are expensive. In some embodiments, the IR laser at 1064 nm, with high repetition rate (e.g., above 1 MHz) and power levels higher than 30 Watts (e.g., less than 200 Watts), is used to perform the via-hole drilling process on the carrier substrate 102. As compared to using the UV laser with lower power, the IR laser (at higher power than that of the UV laser) may deliver a greater via-hole formation throughput. Moreover, the cost of using the IR laser may be less than that of using the higher powered UV laser to obtain the higher throughput.

In some embodiments, during the via-hole drilling operation, debris deposed on the carrier substrate 102 is subsequently removed by a cleaning step (e.g., etching or any suitable removal technique). In some embodiments, after the cleaning, the inner sidewalls of the carrier substrate 102 that define the via holes VH become smoother which may be beneficial to the subsequent seed material deposition. For example, as shown in the enlarged view in FIG. 1B, the respective via hole VH is defined by the non-vertical inner sidewalls of the carrier substrate 102. It should be appreciated that as compared to using the fiber laser with power level over 1 kW to form the via hole having vertical sidewalls, using the IR laser with lower power (e.g., below 200 Watts) may render the via hole VH having the substantially tapered cross-section which facilitates the formation of seed material in the subsequent process. In some embodiments, the laser drilling operation is performed on the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 to render the sidewalls of the respective via hole VH tapering from the first surface 102 atoward the second surface 102 b.

In some embodiments, the respective via hole includes a first portion VH1 and a second portion VH2 connected to the first portion VH1, where the first portion VH1 is in proximity to the first surface 102 aand the second portion VH2 is in proximity to the second surface 102 b. The respective via hole VH may fully penetrate through the carrier substrate 102, so that the thickness 102 tof the carrier substrate 102 is equal to the combination of the depth Vt1 of the first portion VH1 and the depth Vt2 of the second portion VH2. In some embodiments, the depth Vt1 of the first portion VH1 is less than the depth Vt2 of the second portion VH2. Alternatively, the depth of the first portion VH1 may be substantially equal to (or greater than) that of the second portion VH2, depending on the process parameters of the laser machining processes.

With continued reference to the cross-sectional and enlarged view in FIG. 1B, the cross-sectional profile of the first portion VH1 may possess an inverted trapezoidal shape having a virtual longer side Vs1 in proximity to the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 and a virtual shorter side Vs2 opposite to the virtual longer side Vs1. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional profile of the second portion VH2 may also possess an inverted trapezoidal shape having a virtual shorter side Vs4 in proximity to the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102 and a virtual longer side Vs3 opposite to the virtual shorter side Vs4 and equal to the virtual shorter side Vs2 of the first portion VH1. In some embodiments, a maximum lateral dimension (e.g., the maximum width or the diameter) Vw1 of the virtual longer side Vs1 of the first portion VH1 is greater than the minimum lateral dimension (e.g., the width or the diameter) Vw2 of the virtual short side Vs4 of the second portion VH2. For example, the maximum lateral dimension Vw1 of the first portion VH1 is in a range of about 0.05 mm and about 0.5 mm, and the minimum lateral dimension Vw2 of the second portion VH2 is in a range of about 0.01 mm and about 0.5 mm.

In some embodiments, a first inner sidewall 102 c of the carrier substrate 102 connected to the first surface 102 adefines the first portion VH1, and a second inner sidewall 102 d of the carrier substrate 102 connected to the second surface 102 b and the first inner sidewall 102 c defines the second portion VH2. For example, the slope of the first inner sidewall 102 c is substantially milder than the slope of the second inner sidewall 102 d. In other words, the slope of the second inner sidewall 102 d may be substantially steeper than the slope of the first inner sidewall 102 c . In some embodiments, an obtuse angle θ1 measured between the first surface 102 aand the first inner sidewall 102 c is in a range of from greater than about 90 degrees to about 165 degrees. In some embodiments, an acute angle θ2 measured between the second surface 102 b and the second inner sidewall 102 d is in a range of from about 75 degrees to less than about 90 degrees. In some embodiments, an included angle θ12 between the first inner sidewall 102 c and the second inner sidewall 102 d is an obtuse angle (i.e. greater than 90 degrees). It should be noted that the last-mentioned values only serve as examples and may vary depending on the process and design requirements. For example, as compared to those via holes formed by using the fiber laser drilling operation, the angles θ1 and θ2 are substantially right angles to render substantially vertical inner sidewalls that define the via holes. As mentioned above, the vertical inner sidewalls may not be beneficial to the subsequent seed material deposition, and ultimately the plating operation; that is, the seed material may be formed with better conformity and better uniformity on the milder slope of the inner sidewalls.

Referring to FIG. 1C, a seed material SD may be formed on the carrier substrate 102. The seed material SD may be a thin layer of a conductive material which aids in the formation of a thicker layer during the subsequent processing steps. In some embodiments, before forming the seed material SD, the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102 is attached to a temporary base layer TB for the subsequent processes. In some embodiments in which processing the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102 is initially performed, the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 is attached to the temporary base layer TB. For example, the temporary base layer TB is (or include) a carrier tape for supporting the structure formed/disposed thereon.

In some embodiments, after attaching the carrier substrate 102 to the temporary base layer TB, the seed material SD is conformally formed on the carrier substrate 102 to cover the first surface 102 aand the second surface 102 b. The seed material SD may also formed in the via holes VH to line the first inner sidewall 102 c and the second inner sidewall 102 d. In some embodiments, a portion of the seed material SD is also formed on the temporary base layer TB which is accessibly revealed by the via holes VH. For example, the seed material SD is in direct contact with the carrier substrate 102 without any dielectric barrier layer interposed therebetween. Alternatively, a dielectric barrier layer (not shown) is formed prior to the formation of the seed material. In some embodiments, the seed material SD is a metal layer, which may be a single layer or a composite layer with multiple sub-layers formed of different materials. The seed material SD may be or may include a titanium layer and a copper layer over the titanium layer, and may be formed using a thin-film deposition such as physical vapor deposition (e.g., sputtering), evaporation, or any suitable technique. Alternatively, the formation of the seed material may be skipped as will be described later in other embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1D and with continued reference to FIG. 1C, a conductive material may be formed on the seed material SD, and then a patterning process may be performed to form a first conductive pattern 104 and through substrate vias (TSVs) 108. In some embodiments, a photoresist (not shown) is formed and patterned on the seed material SD, where the photoresist may be formed and exposed to light for patterning. The patterning forms openings through the photoresist to expose portions of the seed material SD, where the openings in the photoresist may correspond to the via holes VH for forming the TSVs. Next, the conductive material may be formed in the openings of the photoresist and on the exposed portions of the seed material SD. For example, the conductive material includes a metal, such as copper, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, metal alloys, or the like, and the conductive material is formed by plating (e.g., electroplating or electroless plating), printing, or the like. In some embodiments, the conductive material fills the via holes VH and extend to cover the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 which is accessibly exposed by the openings of the photoresist.

Next, the photoresist and portions of the seed material SD on which the conductive material is not formed may be removed. For example, the photoresist is removed by any suitable process such as ashing, stripping, or the like. In some embodiments, after the photoresist is removed, the exposed portions of the seed material SD that are not covered by the conductive material are removed by any suitable process such as wet etching, dry etching, or the like. As shown in FIG. 1D, the combination of the conductive material and underlying portions of the remaining seed material that is in the via holes VH may be viewed as the TSVs 108, and the combination of the conductive material and underlying portions of the remaining seed material that is on the TSV 108 and the first surface 102 amay be viewed as the first conductive pattern 104. In some embodiments where the carrier substrate 102 is made of ceramic material, the TSVs 108 may be referred to as through ceramic vias. For example, a finer line width of the first conductive pattern 104 may be achieved by using such lithography and plating processes. In some embodiments, the line width of the first conductive pattern 104 is in a range of about 5 μm and about 50 μm. It should be understood that depending on varying formation techniques that are employed to form the first conductive pattern, the line width may be different.

Referring to FIG. 1E and with continued reference to FIG. 1D, a second conductive pattern 106 may be formed on the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102 and connected to the TSVs 108, thereby forming a substrate structure 100A. For example, the temporary base layer TB is removed to accessibly expose the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102. In some embodiments, during the removal process of the temporary base layer TB, a portion of the seed material formed on the temporary base layer TB is also removed. For example, after removing the temporary base layer TB, the seed material may be formed on the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102, and then the conductive material is formed on the seed material. The seed material may be formed by physical vapor deposition (e.g., sputtering), evaporation, or any suitable technique. The conductive material may be formed by plating (e.g., electroplating or electroless plating), printing, or the like. Subsequently, portions of the conductive material and the seed material may be patterned to form the second conductive pattern 106 including a patterned conductive layer 1062 and a patterned seed layer 1061. For example, a finer line width of the second conductive pattern 106 may be achieved by using such lithography and plating processes. In some embodiments, the line width of the second conductive pattern 106 is in a range of about 5 μm and about 50 μm. Alternatively, the second conductive pattern 106 is formed by other suitable technique (e.g., printing or the like) to render different line width. Up to here, the fabrication of the substrate structure 100A is substantially complete.

As shown in FIG. 1E, the substrate structure 100A includes the carrier substrate 102, the first conductive pattern 104 formed on the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102, the second conductive pattern 106 formed on the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102, and the TSVs 108 penetrating through the carrier substrate 102 and electrically connecting the first conductive pattern 104 and the second conductive pattern 106. The respective TSV 108 includes the patterned seed layer 1081 and the patterned conductive layer 1082, where the patterned seed layer 1081 laterally covers the patterned conductive layer 1082 and is interposed between the carrier substrate 102 and the patterned conductive layer 1082.

Still referring to FIG. 1E and with reference to FIG. 1B, the respective TSV 108 may include the first portion TV1 and the second portion TV2 connected to the first portion TV1, where the first portion TV1 corresponds to the first portion VH1 of the via hole VH and the second portion TV2 corresponds to the second portion VH2 of the via hole VH. For example, the thickness t1 of the first portion TV1 is substantially less than the thickness t2 of the second portion TV2. Alternatively, the thickness of the first portion TV1 may be substantially equal to (or greater than) that of the second portion TV2. The cross-sectional profile of the first portion TV1 may possess an inverted trapezoidal shape having a virtual longer side s1 in proximity to the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 and a virtual shorter side s2 opposite to the virtual longer side s1, where the virtual longer side s1 may be a virtual line on a virtual plane where the first surface 102 ais located on. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional profile of the second portion TV2 is of an inverted trapezoidal shape having a virtual shorter side s4 in proximity to the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102 and a virtual longer side s3 opposite to the virtual shorter side s4 and equal to the virtual shorter side s2 of the first portion TV1, where the virtual shorter side s4 may be a virtual line on a virtual plane where the second surface 102 b is located on.

In some embodiments, a lateral dimension (e.g., the width or the diameter) w1 of the virtual longer side s1 of the first portion TV1 is greater than the lateral dimension (e.g., the width or the diameter) w2 of the virtual short side s4 of the second portion TV2. For example, the lateral dimension w1 of the first portion TV1 is in a range of about 0.05 mm and about 0.5 mm, and the lateral dimension w2 of the second portion TV2 is in a range of about 0.01 mm and about 0.5 mm. In some embodiments, the first portion TV1 includes a sidewall s5 connected to the virtual longer side s1 and the virtual shorter side s2, and the second portion TV2 includes a sidewall s6 connected to the virtual longer side s3 and the virtual shorter side s4 and also connected to the sidewall s5 of the first portion TV1, where the slope of the sidewall s5 is substantially milder than the slope of the sidewall s6 of the second portion TV2. In other words, the slanted sidewall s6 is substantially steeper than the slanted sidewall s5. In some embodiments, an acute angle θ3 measured between the virtual longer side s1 and the sidewall s5 is in a range of from about 15 degrees to about less than 90 degrees. In some embodiments, an obtuse angle θ4 measured between the shorter side s4 and the sidewall s6 is in a range of from greater than about 90 degrees to about 105 degrees. It should be noted that the last-mentioned values only serve as examples and may vary depending on the process and design requirements.

With continued reference to FIG. 1E and also reference to FIGS. 1C-1D, the first conductive pattern 104 includes the patterned seed layer 1041 and the patterned conductive layer 1042 overlying the patterned seed layer 1041. For example, since the seed material is formed on the first surface 102 aand in the via holes VH at the same step as shown in FIG. 1C, the patterned seed layer 1041 of the first conductive pattern 104 is continuously and physically connected to the patterned seed layer 1081 on the sidewall s5 of the first portion TV1. Similarly, the conductive material is formed in the via holes VH and on the first surface 102 aat the same step as shown in FIG. 1D, the patterned conductive layer 1042 of the first conductive pattern 104 may be continuously and physically connected to the patterned conductive layer 1082 of the first portion TV1 without any visible interface formed therebetween. The second conductive pattern 106 includes the patterned seed layer 1061 and the patterned conductive layer 1062 underlying the patterned seed layer 1061. In some embodiments, the patterned seed layer 1061 of the second conductive pattern 106 is in physical and electrical contact with both of the patterned seed layer 1081 and the patterned conductive layer 1082 of the TSV 108.

FIGS. 2A-2C are schematic cross-sectional views of various stages of manufacturing a substrate structure in accordance with some embodiments. Unless specified otherwise, the materials and the formation methods of the components in these embodiments are essentially the same as the like components, which are denoted by like reference numerals in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1A-1E. The details regarding the formation process and the materials of the components shown in FIGS. 2A-2C may thus be found in the discussion of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1A-1E. Referring to FIG. 2A, the carrier substrate 102 with the via holes VH is provided. The carrier substrate 102 shown in FIG. 2A is similar to the carrier substrate 102 shown in FIG. 1B, and the details of the via holes VH may refer to the preceding paragraphs.

Referring to FIG. 2B, once the via holes VH are formed, each of the TSVs 208 may be formed in one of the via holes VH. In some embodiments, the TSVs 208 are formed by using a printing process. A printing tool (e.g., squeegee, blade, or wiper) may brush across and over the carrier substrate 102 back and forth to apply a conductive paste in the via holes VH. For example, the conductive paste includes the mixture of conductive particles and binder, where the conductive particles may be or may include copper, silver, metal alloy, and/or the like. In some embodiments, before performing the paste printing, a stencil having apertures (not shown) is disposed on the first surface 102 a(and/or the second surface 102 b) of the carrier substrate 102 a, where the apertures of the stencil may correspond to the via holes VH. After the conductive paste is formed in the apertures and the via holes VH, the stencil may be removed. Alternatively, the stencil is omitted, and the conductive paste is directly applied to the first surface 102 a(and/or the second surface 102 b) of the carrier substrate 102 a, and then excess conductive paste on the first surface 102 a(and/or the second surface 102 b) may be removed to form the conductive paste in the via holes VH.

In some embodiments, a curing process is performed to solidify the conductive paste, thereby forming the TSVs 208 in the via holes VH. Alternatively, the curing process may be skipped. In some embodiments, a planarization process (e.g., chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), grinding, etching, a combination thereof, and/or the like) is performed at least on the conductive paste, so that the first surface 208 a and the second surface 208 b of the respective TSV 208 may be substantially leveled with the first surface 102 aand the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102, respectively. As compared to using the plating process to form the TSVs, when using the paste printing process to form the TSVs 208, the deposition of seed material may be skipped. For example, the conductive paste is in direct contact with the first inner sidewall 102 c and the second inner sidewall 102 d of the carrier substrate 102.

Referring to FIG. 2C, the first conductive pattern 204 and the second conductive pattern 106 are respectively formed on the first surface 102 aand the second surface 102b of the carrier substrate 102. Up to here, the fabrication of the substrate structure 100B is substantially complete. For example, the second conductive pattern 106 includes the patterned seed layer 1061 physically connecting the second surface 208 b of the respective TSV 208 and extending to be disposed on the second surface 102 b of the carrier substrate 102, and the patterned conductive layer 1062 underlying the patterned seed layer 1061. The first conductive pattern 204 may include the patterned seed layer 2041 overlying the first surface 208 a of the respective TSV 208 and extending to be disposed on the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102, and the patterned conductive layer 2042 overlying the patterned seed layer 2041. As compared to the TSV 108 shown in FIG. 1E, the TSV 208 is free of seed material, and the patterned seed layer 2041 of the first conductive pattern 204 is in physical and electrical contact with the entire first surface 208 a of the TSV 208. Alternatively, the first conductive pattern 204 and/or the second conductive pattern 106 may be formed by printing and may be free of the patterned seed layer.

FIGS. 3A-3C are schematic cross-sectional views of various stages of manufacturing a semiconductor package including a substrate structure in accordance with some embodiments. Throughout the various views and illustrative embodiments of the present invention, like reference numbers are used to designate like elements. Referring to FIG. 3A, the substrate structure 100 including the carrier substrate 102, the first conductive pattern 110, the second conductive pattern 120, and the TSVs 130 is provided. The substrate structure 100 may be the substrate structure 100A shown in FIG. 1E or may be the substrate structure 100B shown in FIG. 2C. For example, the first conductive pattern 110 is similar to the first conductive pattern 104 (or 204), the second conductive pattern 120 is similar to the second conductive pattern 106, and the TSVs 130 are similar to the TSVs 108 (or 208). It is noted that the patterned seed layer is not illustrated for simplification, and the substrate structures described above are merely examples, variations thereof may be carried out while still remaining within the scope of the claims and disclosure.

In some embodiments, a plurality of conductive pillars 210′ may be formed on the substrate structure 100, and a semiconductor die 300′ may be disposed on the substrate structure 100. For example, the conductive pillars 210′ are formed on the first conductive pattern 104 by plating, such as electroplating or electroless plating, or the like. In some embodiments, the semiconductor die 300′ is surrounded by the first conductive pattern 104 on the carrier substrate 102 and may be surrounded by the conductive pillars 210′. In some embodiments, the semiconductor die 300′ is attached to the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 through a die attach film (DAF) 302. For example, the formation of the conductive pillars 210′ is performed prior to the placement of the semiconductor die 300′. It should be noted that the single die is shown for illustrative purposes only, and one or more semiconductor die may be disposed on the substrate structure 100 depending on product requirements. The semiconductor die 300′ may be or may include logic die (e.g., central processing unit (CPU) die, graphics processing unit (GPU) die, system-on-a-chip (SoC), application processor (AP), microcontroller, etc.), a memory die (e.g., dynamic random access memory (DRAM) die, static random access memory (SRAM) die, etc.), a power management die, a radio frequency (RF) die, a sensor die, a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) die, a signal processing die (e.g., digital signal processing (DSP) die), a front-end die (e.g., analog front-end (AFE) dies), combinations thereof, and/or the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 3A, the semiconductor die 300′ may include a semiconductor substrate 312, an interconnect structure 314 disposed over the semiconductor substrate 312, a plurality of die connectors 316 disposed on and electrically connected to the interconnect structure 314, and a protection layer 318 disposed over the interconnect structure 314 and covering the die connectors 316. The semiconductor substrate 312 may be or may include a silicon substrate including active components (e.g., transistors, or the like) and passive components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors, or the like) formed therein. For example, the semiconductor substrate 312 includes a rear surface 312 b and a front surface 312 aopposite to each other, where the interconnect structure 314 is formed over the front surface 312 aand the DAF 302 is attached to the rear surface 312 b. The interconnect structure 314 may include metal lines and vias embedded in dielectric layers, where the metal lines and vias may interconnect the active/passive components and/or provide electrical routing and connection between the die connectors 316. The protection layer 318 may be or may include polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), benzocyclobutene (BCB), a combination thereof, and/or any suitable dielectric material. In some embodiments, at this stage, the die connectors 316 are encapsulated by the protection layer 318 for protection. It is noted that the semiconductor die shown herein is merely an example, and the drawings may not depict all of the components of the semiconductor die.

Referring to FIG. 3B and also reference to FIG. 3A, an insulating encapsulation 220 is formed over the substrate structure 100. For example, an insulating material is formed on the first surface 102 aof the carrier substrate 102 to cover the conductive pillars 210′ and the semiconductor die 300′. The insulating material may be formed of a molding compound, epoxy, or the like, and may be applied by compression molding, transfer molding, or the like. For example, the insulating material is applied in liquid or semi-liquid form and subsequently cured. In some embodiments, a planarization process (e.g., CMP, grinding, etching, combination of these, etc.) is performed on the insulating material to form the insulating encapsulation 220. In some embodiments, during the planarization, a portion of the protection layer 318 of the semiconductor die 300′ is removed to accessibly reveal the die connectors 316 for further connection. For example, after the planarization, the semiconductor die 300 includes the die connectors 316 laterally covered by the protection layer 318, and at least top surfaces of the die connectors 316 are accessibly exposed by the protection layer 318. In some embodiments, the conductive pillars 210′ may be (or may not be) ground during the planarization. For example, during the planarization, the insulating material covering the top of the conductive pillars 210′ may be removed. The conductive pillars 210′ laterally covered by the insulating encapsulation 220 may be referred to as through insulating vias (TIVs) 210. In some embodiments, the top surface 210 t of the insulating encapsulation 220, the top surface 300 t of the semiconductor die 300, and the top surfaces 210 t of the TIVs 210 are substantially level (e.g., planar) within process variations.

Referring to FIG. 3C, a redistribution structure 400 is formed on the semiconductor die 300, the TIVs 210, and the insulating encapsulation 220. For example, the semiconductor die 300 is electrically coupled to the TIVs 210 through the redistribution structure 400. In some embodiments, the redistribution structure 400 includes at least one dielectric layer 402 and at least one patterned conductive layer 404 alternately stacked on the dielectric layer 402. It should be appreciated that the number of the dielectric layer 402 and the number of the patterned conductive layer 404 are based on the circuit design requirements and construe no limitation in the disclosure. The patterned conductive layer 404 may include conductive features such as conductive lines, conductive vias, and/or conductive pads, and may be formed by patterning and metallization techniques (e.g., lithography, etching, CMP, thin-film deposition, plating, damascene processing, etc.) or any suitable process. The patterned conductive layer 404 may be physically and electrically connected to the die connectors 316 of the semiconductor die 300 and the TIVs 210. The material of the patterned dielectric layer 402 may include one or more photo-sensitive material(s) such as PBO, PI, BCB, a combination thereof, or the like. The material of the patterned conductive layer 404 may include copper, nickel, titanium, a combination thereof, or the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 3C, a plurality of external terminals 410 may be formed on the substrate structure 100. For example, the external terminals 410 are electrically coupled to the semiconductor die 300 through the substrate structure 100, the TIVs 210, and the redistribution structure 400. The external terminals 410 may include conductive material(s) such as solder, copper, aluminum, gold, nickel, silver, palladium, tin, metal alloy, the like, or a combination thereof. For example, the external terminals 410 include ball grid array (BGA) connectors, solder balls, metal pillars, controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bumps, electroless nickel-electroless palladium-immersion gold (ENEPIG) formed bumps, or the like. In some embodiments, the external terminals 410 are formed by initially forming a layer of reflowable material on the second conductive pattern 120 of the substrate structure 100 through ball placement, evaporation, electroplating, printing, solder transfer, or the like. Once a layer of reflowable material has been formed on the second conductive pattern 120, a reflow may be performed to shape the material into the desired bump shapes.

In some embodiments, after forming the external terminals 410, a singulation process is performed to cut off the redistribution structure 400, the insulating encapsulation 220, and the carrier substrate 102 of the substrate structure 100. For example, the conterminous sidewalls of the redistribution structure 400, the insulating encapsulation 220, and the carrier substrate 102 are formed after the singulation. Up to here, the fabrication of a semiconductor package 10A is substantially complete. The semiconductor package 10A includes the carrier substrate 102 which may be tailored to provide a desired material property such as enhanced thermal conductivity, thereby facilitating heat dissipation. Moreover, by using the selected laser drilling process to form the via holes in the carrier substrate 102, the more reliable TSVs 130 may be formed in the carrier substrate 102, and the overall reliability and the electrical performance of the semiconductor package 10A may be improved. In some embodiments, additional package structure may be disposed on the redistribution structure 400 to form a package-on-package (PoP) structure. Other types of the package/semiconductor structure may be possible.

In some embodiments, to improve the reliability of electrical connections in the flip-chip package, an underfill layer 360 is formed in the gap between the semiconductor die 350 and the substrate structure 100 to cover the conductive terminals 352 and the underlying first conductive pattern 110.
